Secrets of the lost past

Chapter 30

Tiny spice warning!!!

-I have the best idea ever! -Irene screeched while running down the stairs in pajamas. -What if we sneak into the castle and have the royal dinner today?

I was speechless. How could someone with so much etiquette think of this?

Darius looked at her with a bored face, then back at us.

Eira and I looked excited, so he sadly said:

-Fine. But if we get caught...

-We won't! I know how to do these kinds of things! -Irene assured us.

Personally, I loved the idea, but the thought of us getting caught ruined all the excitement.

The rest of the day was normal, but when it was starting to get dark, the messiness began.

-Are you sure this is a good idea? -I asked Irene while I was picking out some clothes.

-Look, you don't have to exaggerate this, it'll just be a fun activity! Besides, you can't live your life without having some entertainment -she voiced. -The food probably tastes good as well!

To this, laughter broke out of me, and I finally chose the clothes I was going to wear.

We waited until everyone was ready, and we left the house.

That was the first time I saw the castle in real life, and...it looked absolutely mesmerizing. The garden looked magical, and the towers were almost exactly like skyscrapers, but one thousand times more beautiful.

While we went behind the castle, Eira remained at the front, staring at the gorgeous building. When she noticed we left her, she came running after us.

-Can you climb in from that window? -Irene asked us while pointing at the nearest window. -It takes you to the bathroom.

Darius climbed in first to show us how. When he was in there, he lifted Eira with her, who began clapping in joy.

The rest of us followed them, laughters after laughters. Maybe this idea wasn't so horrible after all.

Irene showed us where to go, and where to hide.

As we were walking out of the bathroom, I stubbed my toe in the doorframe. I wanted to scream, but I just quickly shaked my foot, and I hopped on one leg.

After minutes of quiet laughter and suffering, we finally made it to the ballroom, which was even better than the castle's exterior. The chandeliers on the ceiling shined magically, the floor was glistening, and all the decorations gave the room a fun look. This was probably the prettiest room I've ever seen. We stood there like we were hypnotized, like we were asleep on our feet.

When we finally came back to this reality, we started strolling towards the dinner room.

There were already people there, so we didn't stand out in the crowd.

-Ooo, the food looks amazing! -Eira whispered while looking at the plates of food on the tables. -Where do we sit?

She looked around excitedly.

-Thanks for the idea -Darius whispered to Irene. -She looks so happy.

We took some food, and we hid to eat it.

-It was definitely worth it to come here -I said, picking up a fork. -For the food.

After a few minutes, all of our plates were empty.

-What will we do with the plates? -I asked while I ate the last pieces.

Irene ran out with them, and she left them somewhere.
